FIVE FINGERS

Five fingers of our palm

are not same in size and structure,

our natures too.

From good to best, from bad to worst

human nature prevails.

I am like me, you are like you;

I cannot be you, you cannot be me.

Like the five fingers,

all of us have different roles-

good balances the bad, best balances the worst.

Whenever I discover your nature is deviating far from mine

I look at my fingers.
